Doing Nothing Is Hard

Summary: "Power wears out those who don't have it". Wilson is powerless: a drabble.
Rating: gen. 
Spoilers: not very explicit for S7.
Word Count: 100.
Note: includes Sekret Woid #5 Stress.
Disclaimer: as usual.

Wilson's back hurt. He tried to find a comfortable position, but couldn't, despite his wrist being finally healed. Sarah jumped away from his chest, bothered by his restlessness.
His life really sucked recently: work was exhausting, he got heartburn from anything spicy, his migraines kept flaring up.
His psychotherapist had diagnosed stress and suggested resigning from Head of Oncology.
Wilson got up, tried to stretch a bit, toyed with the idea of playing squash again. Indeed, there was no more reason not to.
He looked at his stress’ source. Silent on the bedside table, his cellphone seemed to mock him.

The line about taking squash up again is a good one. it really is a poignant way to express where Wilson used to be with House, versus where he is now.

Nicely angsty. :)

Poor Wilson. Losing House must be so hard.
Thank you so much.
